Although it is considered specialty bread, by replacing up to 30%
of the wheat flour, the final bread loaf volume was as good as or
better than the control. The presence of BP increased the un-freezable
water, which was reflected on the 50% reduction on bread
staling as indicated by bread hardness. The rheological properties
of the blends represented by Farinograph and the dynamic rheology
showed that mechanical properties (Farinograph) are better
predictor of the blends baking performance than dynamic rheology.
This bread is a readily obtainable source for the daily recommended
potassium intake per bread serving. This bread is also low
in carbohydrates and higher in fibre relative to conventional bread.
